The 1¢ is one of the rarest values of the American Bank Note Company Special Printings of the Postage Due Issues. The listed quantities sold do not refelect research on this stamp by William E. Mooz, in an article on the 1c appearing in Chronicle number 170, in May of 1996, where he offers evidence to support his theory that the actual number of true Special Printings sold was significantly lower than the reported figures. For the 1c, he estimates 500 sold, but it is possible that as many as 400 purchased by G. B. Calman were destroyed. Suggested Bid $1,500-2,000 (Image)
